Default Another Headhunter Question

I am in the midst of a thinning of the herd. I have too many, and varied interest, and not enough room. My question: Was the traditional Talibon used by any group known to practice headhunting? I have a pretty nice example, that I would love to keep, but if it don't fit, I can't justify keeping it. I can put that $$$ into something that does. Believe me, if I were a rich man, I would never sell a thing. But then, I would need a building the size of Wally World, to house it all.

The talibon is a Visayan weapon traditionally, especially from Cebu. No headhunters there nor in the past as far as I know. Sorry.

Thanks Battara. Not what I wanted to hear, but needed to know. I'll put it on the block, and put the proceeds towards a Mandau. Which I used to have a beautiful example of.
